<\/a>Counselor<\/em> magazine just won its third Neal Award in a row for editorial excellence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Neal Awards are considered to be the Pulitzer Prize of the business press and Counselor<\/em> was selected as a winner for “best news coverage.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The winning series of news articles was written by editor Andy Cohen, an eight-time Neal Award-winner, whose guidance helped Counselor <\/em>take home its first Neal in 2007.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I believe this recognition reflects our strong commitment to independence, objectivity and overall excellence that readers rely on each month to help them grow their business and make smarter, better decisions.<\/p>\n

Also, Stitches<\/em> magazine from ASI, serving embroiderers and equipment manufacturers, was a finalist for its first Neal Award. \u00a0Nicole Rollender is the magazine’s editor, and the nomination was for an ongoing feature series called “Business Spotlight: The Next Level.”\u00a0 While it didn’t win, it competed with well-known national publishers, including Hearst, publisher of O, The Oprah<\/em> Magazine<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

All told, ASI’s magazines have won nine nationally-recognized writing, reporting and design awards, including its three Jesse H. Neal Awards.<\/p>\n

I couldn’t be more proud of our entire editorial staff and many of our 26,000 members, who contribute and help make Counselor<\/em> and all of our publications some of the best in North America.\u00a0<\/p>\n
